April 2025
April is calmer than March. Mercury turns direct on April 7, and Venus goes direct on April 12. All the planets will be traveling in forward motion for the rest of the month. This creates a small window which is ideal for starting projects and getting things done without delays. You’ll spend the month getting used to the new energy of Neptune in Aries. It will be harder to stay balanced and not get enthused by wild schemes. Enjoy April’s showers and flowers.
April 1 – Moon in Taurus/Gemini. Feel the need to do service to the earth and to your environment. Plant flowers in open spaces, clean litter off the sidewalks, and bring beauty where you see dullness. Listen to your intuitive mind for tips on how best to do this. Leave the April fool pranks until the evening. Be kind with your jokes so both sides can laugh.
April 2 – Moon in Gemini. Mercury is still retrograde, so watch your words and your steps. Your mind is running at top speed giving you ample opportunities for making mistakes. Double-check everything you post, email, and mail. Be patient with your old, slow computer since it’s best to wait to replace it. Stay busy and make sure you don’t get stuck in boring situations.
April 3 – Moon in Gemini. There’s very little energy to follow through and finish what you’re working on. You’ll be easily distracted and want to flit from thing to thing.

Share memories from childhood to learn something you don’t remember.
April 6 – Moon in Leo. Today is one of the lucky days in the year when you can take a risk or two with your creative work and have good results. You must think before you act. Remember the fables of wishes that backfire. Mercury is standing still, packing his bags to go back to work. Stay in the moment and take time to have fun.
April 7 – Moon in Leo. Mercury turns direct at 7:08 am EDT. Don’t rush off and start new projects or buy big-ticket items yet. Give him a few days to find his stride.
